ITS Michigan Quarterly Event

ITS Michigan along with Co-sponsor, SE Michigan Arterial Traffic Management Committee, hosted a Summer Meeting at UMTRI on the University of Michigan Ann Arbor campus. The well attended event boasted nationally known experts in several disiplines of Vehicle Infrastructure Integration. Junge Family Champion Center with its' top notch facilities is located adjacent to the UM Stadium. As a lunch time highlight we were invited to the 50 yard line via "The Tunnel" where more than a few made touchdowns. The meeting finished off with a tour or UMTRI's simulation & testing facilities.
